From ThunderstoreAllows you to build underwater
Build Underwater
Requires BepInEx Configure with BepInEx ConfigurationManager
Features:
Allows you to build underwater. Push the default Quote key (Which is the #Hash key for some users) to enable. You should see a message appear bottom left if it's been turned On or Off.
Below is a list of known "issues" which I won't be fixing, as they're not really issues. Just things to be aware of.
Known "Issues"
- While enabled, you won't be able to drink from the water sources since they're gone.
Use the hotkey to turn off, take a drink, then turn back on.
- It's not possible to build upwards, when you're too far out in the ocean when y axis goes below 0 (You shouldn't really encounter this)
You'll notice this issue after the first 2 pillars as you won't be able to add an upper beam.
- If you load a new game while it's turned on, you will need to probably push the hotkey twice.
- Doesn't work in caves.
Installation:
- Download BepInEx from the link above
- Drag contents of the BepInEx zip file into Sons of the Forest game directory (right click in steam > browse local files)
- Open the .zip and drag BepInEx into the base game directory
- Enjoy!
Configuration:
Configure the hotKey inside the faulty.sotf.buildUnderwater.cfg file after running the mod for the first time. Or use BepInEx ConfigurationManager and configure while in game.
Support:
I am available on the Discord server (SOTF Modding). The invite URL can be found in the top navigation on the thunderstore website.
